Miscellaneous info
uniLoader
It does boot as a PoC. This commit contains info about making proper boot images for this platform.
Das U-Boot
It does boot and everything works. I don't personally use it yet because of the need to either include kernel inside it <ew> or replace an additional partition. Development tree.
